So, my PC freezes for 10 seconds, and in that time I get killed as a CT. Later on, an admin (not gonna mention his name) threatens with a tlock... DarkKran kills me through smoke while in stack, no warning whatsoever... GG new paid admins

33+ new hats, glasses, masks, and misc. attachements (Yes, that's right, you can prance around like a fairy, with your very own wings, or even make jet pack noises with your very own jetpack)

60+ trails

Stealth mode -- Wanna be in disguise, not have people know you're an admin? Just turn this on.

New custom made HG skins

A nice new in game GUI that uses the MOTD window where you can view the shop, your items, and more.

General System Changes
The new premium isn't just an addition of new items, it's a complete re-write, and it is now more of a "shop".
But don't worry! ALL of the hats, as well as a few of the items, which were available in the old premium are still available for free to all VIP members and admins.

Items must now be purchased through "HG Bux"

Once you purchase an item, you own that item forever, and accross all servers

Note: Some items are not available on all servers (For example, !ak is not available on jailbreak)

Certain items are only available to VIP members and admins, while others are available to only admins

As long as an item is not designated as VIP+ or admin only, even if you have not purchased VIP or admin 1 month, but you own an item, you may still use it. For example, if you buy advanced knife syphon, because it is not a VIP+ item, you can use it without having VIP or admin!

The hats which were included in the old premium are still only available to VIP+, but they are a free purchase.

If you purchased an "VIP+/admin only" item while you had admin, and then try to use it when your admin expires, it will not let you until you re-purchase VIP/admin.

Using the In-Game Menu
Using the in game menu is pretty simple, in order to access it simply type !premium in chat, and this menu will pop up.

Once you're there, the layout is designed to be as simple as possible. In order to use items, you must buy them first (by going into the shop). Once you have bought the item, you must enable it (by going to the respective category the item is, and in most cases just clicking on the item will enable it)

Using the In-Game GUI
One of the coolest features of HG Items is its in game GUI. In order to access it, simply type !premium and hit 1 (View HGItems) or type !viewstore

Your HG Bux will appear in the top right corner, right below your name.

Shop Tab

Items in grey are available to anyone to use

Items in blue, you must have VIP+ to use or purchase

Putting your cursor over an item will enlarge the image and let you know the restrictions (VIP+/admin)

Commands
All commands can have the ! replaced with a /, or typed in console with a sm_ prefix and no ! (ie, sm_premium in console opens up the premium menu)Commands available to everyone

Trails Annoying? Hide them easily
Simply type !trails in chat, and select "Hide all trails" to not see anyone's trails. They will be invisible to you only, for as long as you don't go back into the menu, and re-enable them.

This thread will be updated as people ask questions, or voice their concerns.

Specific to dm_iceworld, does buying the !smoke command do anything useful? Every once in awhile (like once a month) someone somehow manages to toss a smoke grenade. I've wondered how they do it, since I see no way of purchasing grenades of ANY kind. Which brings me to another question: You say on DM servers you spawn with 1 HE grenade. I've never seen it. Has that been changed? I imagine if everyone had a grenade each time they spawned it would be a living hell trying to stay alive for any length of time.

In DM servers you only spawn with 1 nade. So if you were to purchase the multiple nade item you would still only receive 1 nade. You should only purchase it if you play jailbreak, OG d2, Office NTF, or maybe even minigames.

So multiple grenades doesn't mean you get like 2 or 3 grenades in a DM? I just bought the Semtex nades and would like to know if multiple grenades means you get more of them when you spawn. Or are multiple grenades just useful on other servers beside DM?
